Hmm - more gold in NY than at Fort Knox?

Underneath the Federal Reserve, there is more gold than at any other place in the world. Had no idea about that.

Currently, it is reputedly the largest gold repository in the world (though this cannot be confirmed as Swiss Banks do not report their gold stocks) and holds approximately 5,000 metric tons of gold bullion ($160 billion as of March, 2008), more than Fort Knox.

I can never think of Fort Knox without remembering the hero it was named for. He did the impossible, transporting fifty cannon on sleds from Fort Ticonderoga to Boston, a three-hundred-mile journey that took fifty-six days. Knox was made General of Artillery, and when Washington was President Knox was the first Secretary of War (today's Secretary of Defense).

And that journey was accomplished by a guy who weight three hundred pounds!
